• Mazda CX-5 - High Mileage Diesel Cars 27 Jul 2020 (Forum)

• Future Diesels? - Diesel Repreive? - Soot at the end of the tunnel 13 Dec 2019 (Forum)
  rig ATPIT AFAICT. Don't think its in an engine yet, but the hope/speculation is that it could reduce the need for / load on the DPF. Gas co-combustion also reduces diesel emissions and has been used in operational engines (was poipular in Australia) but seems to ibe more complex. 
• Octavia / Superb - 1.4TSi / 2.0TDi 25 Sep 2018 (Forum)

  is the dpf a real problem on this model. Is it the speed of the engine that determines a regen or temp of exhaust. Would a normal 20 mile journey to work be ok. Thanks for replies. Sparky100.
• Kia Sorento - Change from X-Trail to 7 seat kIA Sorento 26 Jan 2015 (Forum)
  We are thinking of replacing our Nissan X-Trail 2003 model with 105k miles as it is getting a bit long in the tooth and we need to go to a 7 seater. We fancy a Kia Sorento 2.2 2011/12 model KX2 standard. Can you see any problems with this plan, in particular does it have DPF issues and does

• Jaguar XF - P052F Glow Plug Module Fault Code (No symptoms) 28 Dec 2022 (Forum)
  thinks that fitting a new Glow Plug Module will cure this fault. There are no warning lights on the car and it drives 100% fine but if the Glow Plug Module isn't working, DPF regenerations won't take place - indeed, I haven't noticed a DPF regen for a few weeks. Has anyone else had

  for the full warranty period. Dilema is regarding the milage and journey distances i do. I travel only 7-8 miles (country B roads) to work with the odd 15-30 mile journey each week. Total 9-11K per year. My main worry is with DPF and short journeys. Also real MPG of petrol cars versions
